Tyson Is No Hero

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

April 8, 1995

THE ORLANDO Sentinel does it again. Rapist Mike Tyson gets out of jail, and his pictures and articles about how he is greeted as a hero are splashed all over the front page. I'm sure that all the publicity will help enhance his career.

But if you feel like the majority of citizens do about Tyson, you have to turn to the last page of the April 2 Sports section to read the article by columnist Barbara Yost, ''Tyson gets glory, victim gets none.'' She shows what a sick society we are living in, making heroes out of rapists. Why not place her column next to the article lauding Tyson so that the public can read both sides of the story? How many people read the last page of the Sports section?
